Is the tote road now open for hikers?

Awesome journey, Mark…so glad you had such nice weather for your finish.

Way to go, Lady Grey :-)

When I backpack/winter camp with my Aussies (who have a thick coat) I simply let them sleep with my down coat covering them at night, and make sure they are laying on my thermarest, not the bare ground. You can always slip thier front legs through and zip 'em up. Less wieght for you to...

MichaelJ and I will be there - can't wait! The event of the year ;-)

Thanks for posting, Nicole. I came upon one of your boxes last weekend on Mt Jackson. I had some very mixed feelings about it. While I appreciated learning of your journey and how you had come to the mountains to work it out, I didn't like seeing your Boston Box on the summit. I opened it and...

I was only kidding, guys :-)....The ADK Gathering IS the definitive ADK Gathering! :-)

Teej, do you think you could hold this in NH sometime for those of us with long drives ? :D

Marty, I remember a similar experience while backpacking in the High Peaks Wilderness in 2001. <This was a long time ago and represents how *old* I am :-( > I believe it was late May/Early June. On day two I was hiking around Elk Lake and I had every conceivable species of flying, biting...

Trails: FR 95, Shelburne Tr, Kenduskeag Tr Conditions: White birch tree down across FR 95 but easy to drive around. Hot and buggy on FR 95. Shelburne Trail has a couple large blowdowns, wet and muddy in spots. Kenduskeag has some pretty significant erosion above the ladder and could use...

LOL! No problem, we discourage mauling :) I think you answered your own question, though. When you saw us, you did not percieve a threat, and the dogs didn't react to you.

Welcome! Lots of good suggestions here- I'd also like to add taking a group pet obedience class with Hana to help increase your bond and connection with her independant of Sammy. It's great that he has Sammy as a role model while on the trails and at The Fells. :-) I'm in the Greater Boston...

I would suggest some relaxation techniques, and ignoring the dog's prescence, if possible. I understand that may be very difficult for you, given your fear, which no matter if its ever been reinforced or not, doesn't matter because its a very real fear to you. :-) One relaxation technique that...

As your Spirit dog, she will always be at your side.
